2. Celtics weekly review:

* Even when the Celtics were up by 13 points against Miami I never thought they would win

* Paul Pierce a forced fall away three pointer at the end – miss – has to be under 15% with game on the line from the field

* Celtics without Rondo – 16-8

* On Lebron’s alley oop dunk on Jason Terry. Terry should have forgot about the “King” and clothes-lined Norris Cole for even thinking about making that pass and going layup line in the middle of the game and trying to embarrass his team

* Danny Ainge had to pull the trigger on the Pierce and Garnett and Rondo deals – three years of having the team lure you to the last seconds of the game only to go to bed miserable with a loss

* The character Roy Hobbs was a tragic character in the book but in the movie paid homage to Ted Williams

* Movie was received by middle to poor reviews

10. Randomocity:

* Great start to spring

* Love seeing Kentucky losing in the first round of the NIT (they should have declined the invitation)

* Robert Redford only has one Oscar nomination – The Sting

* Jim Longborg never finished in the top 20 in Cy Young voting before or after winning in 1967

* Pet peeve meetings with tangents that waste everyone’s time with nothing accomplished

* The over under for Houston Astros is like 60 wins this year – send them down to Triple AAA and bring up last year’s winner

About Michael

Lifelong Boston resident who finds equal enjoyment in celebrating the local team's success as I do complaining about their failures. I have been writing the Top Ten for the last decade as well as five sports books: 26 Miles to Boston, Rebound, The President's Team, The Great Book of Boston Sports Lists and NBA List Jam.

After beating Duke in 1985 at the University of Houston, BC would lose their next in Dallas (Reunion Arena)against Memphis State. Tigers were led by Andre “Little General Turner who played for the Celtics very briefly. Memphis also had William Bedford and Keith Lee.

REPLY – MPC – That Memphis team must have been wild off the court in the 80’s – what I remember about that is that BC had the lead and the ball was going out of bounds baseline and someone saved it for Memphis and just threw it out to the top of the key where Andre Turner caught the ball and drilled the game winner
